and i mean, tell me why for mitt romney the economy is not resonating with him more. when you look at the polls and our polling in particular, the president and mitt romney are basically neck and neck on the issue of the economy. a little bit of an edge for your candidate on the issue of unemployment. but why, with all of those statistics that you just rattled off, why isn't your guy, the business guy, doing better on that? >> it is somewhat perplexing given how poorly the president has managed the economy. there's been a lot of promises, and platitudes. but not a lot of results. that's mitt romney's shtick. he's about getting results, as governor of massachusetts and turning around the olympics. i think there's been a couple things. one the democrats got a little bump out of the convention. two, i think the president has done a good job on tv with some of his face to the camera commercials, making his promises. even though they're some of the same ones he made before, he sounds good. >> it's resonating -- >> now they're actually getting things done. >> you look at th

if romney turns in a strong debate, you hope you have an economy ad that helps governor romney build on any momentum out of the debate. number three, both campaigns and friends, democratic super pakz and republican super pacs have to make tough decisions over the next three weeks, five weeks left in the campaign, but over the next three to four weeks you have to make decisions not only where to spend money and spend more money, but where to take resources out. that's the toughest decision to campaign. not necessarily where to spend, it is where not to spend. when you have a big buy like this, then you poll, you see if you're moving the numbers. and in some of states you'll keep the ads, some states, watch in a week, ask have they pulled out? that will tell you something. >> crunch time indeed, john king, thank you for us in denver. no pressure as millions, millions will be watching tomorrow night's first presidential debate. all comes down to the two men on stage, the public will perceive one of them is the winner as we have seen in history, one line, one line can make all the differ
